The Duchess of Cornwall went on a shopping spree to Harrods.....
Knowing how carried away the Duchess could get when shopping, her lady in waiting accompanied her with a calculator to keep a running total of what she was spending. When they arrived at the checkout, the lady in waiting presented her calculator to the cashier saying “This is the total amount that the Duchess has to pay.” The cashier replied “But you’ve forgotten that the Duchess receives a 16% discount.” The lady in waiting simply turned the calculator upside down and said “Then this is the amount she has to pay.”
What was the original price of the goods and the discounted price that the Duchess paid?
Thank you
